BACK AGAIN
It’s great to be back. I have arrived to a riot of yellow everywhere. Daffodils carpet the countryside in the wildest, most beautifully rustic way, sprouting along every verge, uninhibited. I have settled in Voe in the old doctor’s house, one of the grandest houses overlooking Olna Firth. It was built to entice a doctor here and Martin, its current owner, informs me that he is only the second person ever to live there who is not a doctor. The old surgery has been converted into a chalet but is well remembered by all as a formerly important service in the North Mainland.
My daily journey to the school now takes five minutes walking through the most stunning scenery past the voe, the kirk and the shop.
